With today’s ultra lightweight handguns you could carry two guns and hardly be aware that you have them at all. Two such guns that have long been favorites of mine are Smith & Wesson’s J-frame revolvers, the original Model 60 Chief’s Special, and the Centennial Model 42 with its inside hammer and grip safety.

Although they are small, the open sights on the S&W J-frame revolver can be used under most circumstances.
